Called Shumukh which in Arabic means “deserving the highest”, the perfume is created by Nabeel Perfumes Group of Companies and according to Ali, is an homage to “the spirit of Dubai.” The bottle enclosing the fragrance is what contributes to the hefty price tag. It stands 1.97 meters tall and is made of 18-karat gold that weighs more than two kilos and five kilos of pure silver. Set on the bottle are over 3,500 diamonds, topaz, and pearls.
